Grilled Shrimp Brochettes

I have not always been a fan of shrimp but this grilled shrimp over an Asian Vegetable Salad is heavenly. My boys love it....so when I found these baja shrimp on sale I snatched them up and began to grill.

The recipe comes from a cook book I have been cooking from most of this summer called Ultra-Metabolism Cookbook.

While the Shimp is marinating prepare a salad....I made the Asian Vegetable Salad also from the Ultr-Metabolism cookbook.
